Hi, there's nothing to worry about, its called "Voltage Droop".
Every Intel based motherboard has this feature and it has nothing to do with your new power supply unit.
Here's an explanation from Asus....
Intel specification clearly states Vcc (CPU Vcore) should drop in proportion to the increase of Icc (CPU current consumption), in order to prevent causing permanent damage to your CPU. When CPU is under stress (in other words, under higher load), the current consumption of the CPU will go up, and the CPU Vcore will then drop to compensate for this change. This is perfectly normal behaviour, and will not effect the overall stability of your system.
